If you are installing a CD, DVD, diskette, tape, or Zip drive, connect the
data cable to the back of the drive. Be careful not to force the cable
connector or bend any of the pins. Follow the data cable from the
connection on the drive to the other end of the cable. Make sure that the
cable is connected securely to the data cable connector on the main system
board or the SCSI host adapter card. Go to Step 7

If you are installing a flash memory drive, go to the next step.

Caution

Make sure that Pin 1 on the cable connects to Pin 1 on the
drive or the drive will not function. Pin 1 on the drive is
typically located next to the 4-pin power cable. Check your
drive for a label indicating Pin 1. Pin 1 on the cable is
indicated by a red stripe on the edge of the cable.
